In this episode, we talk about why getting strong is the most important thing you can do for your body.
As a competitive powerlifter who’s squatted over 2.5x bodyweight and deadlifted over 3x bodyweight, and we go deep in this episode about the best ways to add strength, the mindset to take when you’re trying to add pounds to the bar, and some cool milestones to aim for if you’re serious about gaining muscle.
‘’You’ve to be consistent for a long period of time, it’s not a 2- or 3-month fix’’
